Khctlon of lulled KIhIui NeiiHtor De layed I'ntll January 2(1 by failure of HuuBf to Oricaiiln Hmt I)ny. The KHh lpxilaiive aonaion mat in the capllol at Hulern Monday. The annate oritaniKKi! promptly but the 'one failed to organize, although recnainliig In fu sion until midnight, liecaniie ol ohatruc live tactic on part of aoine of the mem ber. The annate ellected a permanent or ganization with Jow-h Kiinon, of Mult nonwh, preaident; chief clerk, S. L, Mmrehesd, of Lane; assistant clerk, J, A. Wilf)n, of Linn; calendar clerk, 8. K. Mason j reading clerk, W. M. Kag mil, of Multnomah; ergeant-at-arma, C. B. Croeno, of Lincoln ; door keeper, J. . Blundoll, of Douglai; mailing clerk, II. II. Humphrey. The aalary ol the chief clerk was put at fV per day and the other clerks at $3 per day. The flrat day's aexaion in the house ! wa full of uproar, disorder and excite ment, and the failure to organize will delay the election of United States senator for two weeks, because the federal conatitution provides that the election of senator shall take place the second Tuesday after the organization of the legislature, so that a senator cannot now beelected until Tuesday, January 211. The temporary organization of the house lull Into the lundsof the Bourne men through the selection of Davia of Umatilla as temporary speaker. Davis appointed Barkley, U'Ken, Bil- yen, Tho man and Stanley a committee on credentials. When the committee met, it speedily (ell into a disagreement overcredentials. The Bourne men found technical faults with them, and initiated upon taking up the the Coos county con test of Huntley against Nosier. When the house met at 4 o'clock the committee as not ready to report nor was it ready at any other time. When the house reconvened after the evening recess and did net hear from tlie committee, Somers of Linn made a mo tion peremptorily to discharge the com mittee and proceed to organization. A great uproar and excitement ensued. The majority evidently lavored the mo tion. SHaker Davis vainly attempted to rule it out of order. The populists, democrats, Ilourneites and a few repub licans had meanwhile left the hall. The speaker then read from the constitution, showing that all proceedings were out of order. Thomas then appeared from the com mittee and tried to uet in a minority re port seating all of the members who possesiied certilicatea of election. This was ruled out, amid immense disorder. Excited colloquies ensued between mem bers, and there were nearly two hours of continuous filibustering. Before 10 o'clock, however, something like order was restored, and the time until nearly midnight was passed in more or less good-humored running debate between David of Gilliam and U'Ken and others upon various misdeeds of the last legU lature. The Salem Statesman says: "After the wail that has been poured into the ears of the people by populist ic brethren about the extravagance, unfaithfulness to duty, and reckless waste of time and money by republican legislators, u is absurd to see the whole combination, to gether with Simon republicans (alleged reformers and guardians ot the taxpay ers' interests), under the leadership of U'Ken, the loudest of howlers, filibuster ing, refusing to organize, and thus delay ing reforms that the taxpayers so loudly demand. Truly they should be relegated to that Bourne whence no Jonathan re turns." People can now see what caused Mr, U'Ken to go on so many pilgrimages to Mr. Simon's office just prior to the commencing of the legislature. He has evidently learned his lesson well. The house committee on credentials has three reports ready to be submitted whenever rp,nization is effected. One report, signed by Barkley and Bilyeu, unseats Hosier and refuse to seat Hunt ley, leaving Coos and Curry without a representative, and giving the bouse a total vote of only 59. U'Ken signs a re port seating Huntley. Thomas and Stanton make a report seating Nosier. Proceedings in the house Monday fur ther clearly demonstrated that the charge that the enemies of Senator Mitchell have so persistently asserted that Mr. Mitchell had a combination or a dispo sition to elect Mr. Bourne to the speaker ship is absolutely faUe. Monday's proceedings in thehouBe also clearly indicate a combination between what is known as Simon and the major it v of the republicans on one hand and the democrats and populists, led by Jonathan Bourne, on the other. In view of the overwhelming senti ment which exists, not only among the republican members of the legislature but as well among the people of the state in favor of the return of Mr. Mitchell to the senate, it would seem U be the duty of every republican in the legislature to join in his election. Among the economic meatores sched uled lor introduction early in the session are neveral calling lor the repeal ol ex pensive commissions and the abolition of the fee kystem in general. A score of members hare bills in their pockets atk ing the repeal of tbe railroad commis sion. The fish and gains warden will also be asked to be abolished by dozen or more bills, while other bills declare that the domestic animal commission and numerous other boards be abolished forthwith. Among the appointments the senate will be asked to confirm are a number that have been made by Governor Lord during the past two years. Tbe appoint ments include members of tbe board ol regents of the Monmouth normal, state university, Weston normal and State Agricultural college. Of these appoint ments ail have already been installed in oflice. Three members of the board of trustees of the Soldiers' home aie to be appointed for the terms beginning Feb ruary 1st. These require confirmation. The membors of the state and district boards of agriculture do not come before the senate for confirmation. Speaking of tne legislative hold-up, the Statesman has tho following to say: "There can no longer be any reason to doubt but Simon and Bourne have en tered into an alliance for the purpose ot either ruling or suining whoever stands in their way. To those familiar with their past records, this is not at all sur prising; but it 1b a serious disappoint ment to the friends and supporters of the men who are tools in their hands the men who, though elected to honor able official positions, are parading the streets and preventing a quorum in the house, thus betraying those whom they were elected to serve. If such a course were pursued by the supporters of Sena tor Mitchell, it would be denounced in unmeasured terms by the Oregonian and the names of the holders up would be held to scorn. Yet nothing is said bv that great paper ol the hold-up. The great exponent of purity in politics, fi dellly to party principle, and uncompro mising oponents of "unholy alliances with populists and democrats is silent as the tomb. Senator Mitchell has from the start been charged by that paper with attempting to do just what Mr. Simon has done. On the contrary Mr. Mitchell and his friends have worked night and dav to unite the republican party have advocated the organization of both branches of the legislature by the republicans alone and by only such republicans as voted for and supported McKinley and Hobart have forced a caucus call for United Senator to be par ticipated in only by republicans who be lieve in the principles enunciated in tbe platform as adopted by the late national republican convention at St. Louis. After 48 such republicans have signed such a call, the Oregonian, Mr. Simon and Mr. Bourne are attempting by every means in their power to prevent a cau cus'.and destroy the harmony existing in the republican party. To accomplish such purpose they are using freely popu lists and democrats and sweet words, rich viads and palatjal quarters consort ing with such a combination that when employed bv another is branded as an 'unholy alliance" and all for the pur pose of defeating thj re-election of Sena tor Mitchell." Considering the two houses as consti tuted by the occupation of their mem bers, it is found that thsre are 31 farm ers, two horticulturists and one stock raiser. There are two cannerytnen and five editors to supply them with brain lood. Five manufacturers will supply their needs, one banker will take care of the earnings and two capitalists will sup ply funds as needed ; three teachers are there to look to their educational quail' cations. There are 11 merchants to keep them in food and clothes, one con tractor to build them bouses, one sur veyor to see that the linos are run straight, 17 attorneys to get them out of trouble, four doctors to keep them in good health and one brewer and two preachers and one elder to keep them in good spirits. Tbe message of Governor Lord baa been completed and is now in the hands of the state printer. It will be a docu ment of considerable length consisting of probably 50 pages of coarse print. He deals with matters ol state in such man ner as to give the legislature much light on matters demanding attention and urges economy along many lines. He renews numerous of his unheeded ad monitions to the last session, chief among them being his recommendation that the legislature relieve itself of the duty of the election of the several com missioners. The Koveraor adheres to his belief that the election of their offi cers should be by the people. The mes sage of the governor cannot be read be fore Wednesday and it is likely that the joint session will be held at 11 o'clock on that day. Wednesday was another nightmare in tbe house a repetition of the two pre ceding days. The Mruon-Bourne con tingent pursued the same obstruction tactics that they adopted Monday after noon, and no quorum could be counted present, although the sincere 30 repub licans were at their desks during the whole day. Frequent roll call and slight brushes at arms served to relieve what wonld otherwise have proven a dull and monotonous wait. But the story of the day's farce is quickly told in the routine report of the proceedings of the house. as reported below . The senate did bus iness and will be well np with its work by the time the bouse can now get started. The situation in the house is, briefly, this: All progress is blocked by 29 rep resentatives who willfully absent them selves from their posts of duty, and Tem porary Speaker Davia, who sustains the absentees in every movement. It is not easy to describe adequately the purposeless method of which tbe house has of doing its business. It is something like a Methodist watchnight meeting, wherein the members are drawn together by a common idea ot watching the clock and varying the monotony by giving their experiences and describing their varying feelings and emotions. There is much disorder at all times, and it is marked by episodes of more or less interest and excitement. The clock ticks on, and tbe hands move round to the usual hour of adjournment, and there is really nothing to do but wait for tbe always absent quorum to come in. Members sit idly at their detks, or stand in groups, discussing the situation. The lobby, which is always full, prevents free inijress or egress. Tbe crowd pushes its way up the several aisles, and listens indifferently whenever some wearied member gets up and com plains about the noise and crowding and j :: i . 1. .1.

Tuesday evening Willamette Falls Camp No. 148 installed its officers, who are to serye for tbe ensuing six months, as follows: Consul, E. E. Martin; banker, Joseph Jones; clerk, J. K. Morris, adviser, W. S. Maple; escort, Cbas. Olds, watchman, 8. S. Walker, sentry, J. Shade; and I. D. Taylor, manager. During the evening five canditateS were duly initiated into the order and twelve names proposed for membership. Tbe camp now has a membership of 172 and has a steady, healthy growth. The utmcast harmony and good feeling pre vails among the members and the at tendance is very good. To Grant Olds, the retiring consul commander, as also to the other retiring officers, is due in a great measure the prosperous condition of this lodge. In recognition of the efforts of E. E. Martin and J. M. Finley to secure new members for the order, the camp at a, previous meeting voted them each a gold medal, and at the close of tha installation they were presented to the brothers by Charles Meserve on behalf of the camp. The medals were suitably engraved, handsomely mounted and ol beautiful design. It was decided to hold an open meet ing at which the silver mouniea ax awarded to this camp for the largest attendance on Woodmen day at tho Portland exposition, would be presented. Acommitte to make the necessary ar rangements was appointed. The meet ing will probably be held next Tuesday evening at Willamette hall and in addi tion to the presentation cerremonies, which will be conducted by Woodmen officers from Portland, a short musical and literary program will be rendered. Invitations will be sent out to friends of die order to attend . For Young Men and Yonng Women There is nothing that will arouse the ire of a young man or woman so quick as to have Inferior laundry work put off on them. They may dress ever so well, but if their shirt front or shirt waist la mussy their neat appearance Is spoiled. The Troy laundry makes specialty ot ladies' and gentlemen's fine work.
